Rattle Can Yellow for Cub 149

[Mr Bob]

I am re-doing my Cub 149 and used Magic rattle can Cub Yellow from Tractor Supply on my frame. I absolutely will not use it again. Paint is too soft and takes forever to dry. I bought a can of rust-oleum Gloss Marigold and sprayed my Hydro Pump and Cylinder with it. Went on well and dried fast. Pretty sure it will be a hard finish. Looked a little lighter in color than the Magic paint. Has any one used it on their Tractor? Also saw a Rust-oleum Yellow Eq. Catipaller rattle can spray paint. Any one used this and if so, how does it compare color wise to the Cub Yellow spray can from a Cub Cadet dealer? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for your help. Have a great day.

I know where you are coming from with the majic brand paint.

In addition, I have found that Rust-Oleum paints are pretty good. However as J-Mech said, Cub Cadet paint is guaranteed to match. I use paint from the Case IH dealer. It's high quality stuff made by Valspar. I buy it buy the gallon and keep a couple spray cans of each color for touch-ups.

Thanks for the reply's. At $17.00 a can at my local Cub Dealer, Just can't afford it. I am doing a make over and not a restore as everything will not be as it came from the Factory. I envy those that can do a total restore. Beautiful Tractors.
Have a great day.

Not sure if this matches the old yeller or new? But a good deal on good paint.

For what it's worth... In my area I have found spray paint at the Cub CADET dealers is in that $17 range, but at the IH dealers it is around $10...

Good luck,

The Valspar paint takes A LONG TIME to dry. Weeks,3-4. I did a 46" deck using the IH white. Great paint though, excellent coverage, doesn't run, and once dried it seems like it will take some abuse.

i agree Rust-oleum is the ticket. At less than 4 bucks a can you can do the whole tractor for 25 bucks. I just picked up the almond also need to see if it matches the white (off white). not the best pic but this is the 107 i have been working on this winter. First face lift and had a blast, begining and under construction
forgive me if the pics dont come through "first time caller long time listener"

I use Duplicolor school bus yellow, AKA Federal Yellow.
Almost a dead nuts match for the IH/Cub stuff.
About $4.50 a can at CarQuest.
